Has anyone tried roller lifters in a type 4, or any flat motor?

Mostly so we can use current motor oils without wiping the cams.. I assume you're talking about solid lifters, not hydraulic? Take a quick look at the experience of the V8 guys with aftermarket solid roller lifters on the street. There are success stories with acceptable longevity, it's true, but there are also a whole lot of horror stories. You may be trading one problem for another that's worse. Proper setup is critical to get the oiling, which may be the reason Jake never sold the solids as parts. Aren't there high-zinc break-in oils? And I haven't heard bad things about those ceramic lifters, have you? Except for price and availability, of course. |
